Memento (2000)
IMDB: http://imdb.com/title/tt0209144
Plot:
Leonard (Guy Pearce) is an insurance investigator whose memory has been damaged following a head
injury he sustained after intervening on his wife's murder. His quality of life has been severely
hampered after this event, and he can now only live a comprehendable life by tattooing notes on
himself and taking pictures of things with a Polaroid camera. The movie is told in forward flashes
of events that are to come that compensate for his unreliable memory, during which he has liaisons
with various complex characters. Leonard badly wants revenge for his wife's murder, but, as numerous
characters explain, there may be little point if he won't remember it in order to provide closure
for him. The movie veers between these future occurrences and a telephone conversation Leonard is
having in his motel room in which he compares his current state to that of a client whose claim he
once dealt with.
